Just wanted to put an apology in first, I was on here a lot at the start of the year when I was planning a trike build but the reality of life lead to me having to sell and I felt a bit bad about it so have stayed away, apologies Andy and everyone else that offered help. Alas, due to relocation my other dream is going to have to be sold and I'm desperately hoping someone on here will have the enthusiasm to take it on and get it on the road, I've spoken to a good few people who have had the same idea and never got it started, well, now is your chance to get your hands on an almost-finished project and live the dream! I've got an ad in the for sale section, it is a sale but the money side of it is far less important than finding a kindred spirit so don't be afraid to get in touch if this is something you've always fancied doing. Thanks again everyone, Phil.

Ya muppet! -we're hardly gonna banish you from the forum for not having a build on the go are we. Life just gets in the way sometimes. There's more important things in life, (I'm told). You're still more than welcome here.  |

Blimey, I've never built anything and I don't apologize for it!

Thanks guys  . Andy, you still looking for an engine and box? Bikergran, looks like I'm selling up in Carlisle and heading to a funny little place in Dorset, Wareham? Don't know if you've heard of it? |

Wareham in Dorset a great little place, can get crowded in the summer though, used to go down a lot when I was younger my then girlfriends parents had a caravan down there. Some nice roads.

No more projects for me! - though I do still own a fibreglass T bucket body that Loony & I were going to build with a Reliant engine.

That's quite a move! When will we be welcoming you to our humble little town? |

Err, yeah, very temporary measure I hope! Looking at your avatar Stinkey - 'I can't stop building stuff', I think we might get on, I'll look you up when I get down there. As an update, I've been looking at my bike and I don't think I can go through with selling it, every bit I look at has been fabricated, usually at least three times, by myself, I guess I'm just gonna have to dig in and get it finished in the next couple of months and bring it with me  |

Well don't panic to finish it; just bring it with you?

Wise decision mate. Find somewhere safe to store it & plug away at it at your leisure. Sell it in haste & you'll probably regret it.

Thanks peeps, if all goes according to plan you should all be able to see it in the flesh by early next year-ish . Then I can start building my hot rod, anyone know how long it will take me to knock up a quick Ford Pop? Ahem, |
